A crossbar r is pivotally supported at right angles to the barr, upon which l/atterit is supported. yi`he mechanism described operatesthe iinf gers as follows: ,f

When motion is imparted vto the shaft g, the cannwheel g is rotated,bringing theperipherai cam g carried thereby into contact with the outerend f of the bar r', which is thereby rocked downwardly, depressing thei and forcing'the outer ends lower ends a bar r,

of the levers n" and n upwardly, thereby raising the finger-bar 02 inthe hangers o', together with the fingers o", and pasting the margin ofthe paper coverf ingl the box to the interior surface thereof in themanner hereinafter set forth.

A gear-wheel. r2 is keyed meshes with a gear-wheel r3, having'one-halfthe pitch, or in the ratio of two toone. The gear-wheel r3 is mounted ona suitably-supported counter-shaft 1A, having the camwheels and rlocated at either end thereof. A lever r? is pivotally supported on ahanger s, depending from `the bed. One end of the lover '1"7 projectsinto the path of and is engaged by the cam 12, carried on the camwhcel,and one end of a coil-spring s is secured to the lever near its oppositeor outer end, thereby holding the inner end of the lever in contact withthe periphery of the camwheel pressure is exerted against theailpner endof the lever 1, the opposite end s2 oi'wliich normally contacts with acurved projecting lug 13, carried by a foot-pedales, the upper end ofwhich has secured thereto a block s, the block received in an annulargroove' `S5, formed in the hub of the movable member 26 of a frictionalclutch s".

The pedal is so pivoted, however, that its weighttends to automatically swing the upper end of theI pedal away from thepulley d and withdraw the block 8^. lt is normally prevented from suchmovemena however, by reason of the engagement of the end s? of the lever'P7 with the curved lug 13 of the pedal. As the cam-wheel rs revolvesthe cam. l2 is brought in contact with the lever rl, thereby moving thevend s2 out of engage ment with the lug i3 to permit the pedal carandpasting the margin of the paper covering eeaese rying the movable member26 lot the clutch to swing away from the pulley d to release the latterfrom irictional contact with the shaft c upon every revolution'ol' theshaft rt, which .completes the'operation otter-ning in the born l A.cam-Wheel r also secured to the .shaft r4, is provided With a cani 16,adapted to conw tact With one end of a lever S8, the lever be ingpivotally supported intermediate its ends by means of a hanger S7.

The lower portionset the standards w3 are. each 'formed ith a toot 20, extending at rightangles ivith the body portion, the standards being pivotally secured tothe bases Q05 by means of the pins w, the feet superimposed upon thebases and yieldingly held in place by the coil-springs 0.07, nencirclingthe studs 21carried by the bases and projecting through slotted aper`tures in the feet. This construction permits of a lateral play of thestandards to accommodate' any irregularity in. the `r`ize or shape ofthe box. Thebases are adj.r hably secured to the arms w byineans ofset-screws 22.

The aft fy-is mounted in a Washer y,A provided iidth the peripheral no':hes gz," and if, the. notches adapted to recei the end of a patri Iy,pivoted upon a.siiitably-si1pported pin The pawl normally rests in thenotch y` to retain the Washer and work-holder steady, the shaft ifhaving a spring S0 coiled therearound, one end of the spring secured tothe shalt yB and the. opposite end secured to the bed a of the machine.This spring is under'a slight tension, tending to rotate the disk vy andmove the Worleholder w toward the lett (in the drawings) and the paw] byena inir the notch revente such rotation the pawl being held inengagement with the periphery of the 'disk y by means of the spring 29.The normal position of the disk is shown in Fig. in Whi ch the studfm1/2 is in engagement With the inclined planeq/13, so as ,to projectabove the disk y in advanceof the arm if. 'it is also to "be observedthat the tooth oi the pawl and the faces of the notches are both squaredand squarely engage each other, so that the paWl must actually be forcedaway by the cam D anddoes not operM The shaft also carries release th'elatter from, engagement With the disk g/ just prior to the engagement ofthe radial pin if with the arm y2.

and to the disky. Located beneaththe disk y is a stationary arc-shapedinclined plane y, carried by a washer 31 and adapted to engage the lowerend of a long stud y, loosely held in the disk y and of such a length asto project above the surface thereof 'when enl washer 7 which carriesthepholder 'w until the arms y2 ym are in the positions shown by the 4dotted lines in Fig. 6, when the notch ya is brought in contact with thepawl y", by means of which the holder is retained in place until thework is finished, the length of the pin y being i)ietletcrniiiied, sothat it will wipe past the arm if when the pawl engages the notch @/8.The termination or lowest point of the inclined portion oi the washer isalso reached and the pin y drops down out of the way ot the arm y. 0nthe succeeding rotation of the shalt g the cani l) contacts with thepawl, 'forcing it out of contact with the notch g/S to release thewasher upon which the holder is mounted, and the holder is rotated inthe opposite direction by means of the coil-spring 30, which has beenplaced under greater tension when the arms were rotated to theirdotted-line position, bringing the holder. back to its original positionshown` in Fig. 6, the holder n1 airing a quart Afrturn only in eachdirection` When the holder is returned to its normal position, the pin yis brought back into engagement with the inclined surface y and raisedinto position in iront of the arm y2.

The pin v@/7 is used vfor the purpbse of retarding the n'iovement of theholder when the latter is returning to its original position, which isaccomplished. by the arm y contacting with the pin 1,1/7, upon th erelease oi the holder by the pawl and cam, the spring 30 causing arm 3/4to bear against thepiny7 as the latter is rotated until the p awlrcngages the notch 'y'.

The operation of our device is as follows:

trally ol the bed'oi themachine and 'being partially rotated as abovedescribed in per- Yforming the function oi turning in and pasting. Thebox to be treated is first covered with paper, leaving a marginprojecting above and below the box, and is then placed in an `on throughthe levers and .links fh, n10.

When movement is impartedto t ecarriages, they move forward in the. way to'- ward the holder, and inapproaching the box the/lingers mounted on the stationary standards turnin and paste the projecting margin. oi the paper-to the bottom ofthebox,which completes the turning in and pasting of the margin projecting overthe bottom of the box, since the paper is coated with an' adhesive andthe rolls p3 intheir ends bend the margin el' paper over and press itdown on the bottom oi the boit. The lower series of iingers which aremounted'on the' Inova-ble supports engage and turn the margin of thepalper in at right angles with the top of the'box and immediatelysubsequent thereto an upward movement is transmittedto the fingers, 9oas described, to turn the marginf paper upward and press it against'theinner surface of the top oi the box to. paste it thereto. The movablefmger-baro2 is raised primarily by reason ofthe engagement of the cam gwith the cross-rod r', which latter as soon as released is brought backby gravity, the weight of the finger-bars o2 o2 operating therIen risingthe edges' of. the box are received between the upturnedfmgeijs o4 andthe face of the bar o, the downwardmovement of the bar occurring whenthe cam q has passed the cross-bar 1f and the continued rotation of theshalt g causes the return or simultaneous back movement of the carriagesto their normal positions at the ends of the table throughtheconnectingbars, levers, and-p sts'hitherto set forth. As the shaft yapproaches the end of its second rotation the cam-tooth I 1o 16 wipesthe lever s8- to causeth'elifting-bar to move downward againstthetension ofthe spring 17, bringing the spring-finger t4 down over thebox, the further rotation of'cam- IOO whefl rl moving the cam-toothl'away from 1 15 a second box is placed over `the-upper ends of,"

the standardsw3 and the treadle 15 depressed to bring the clutch membersonce more into, engagement.

In practice the momentum or inertia of 13o the gearing carries the cam12 past the lever "T7, so that the spring s brings theend of the leverr? back into engagement with the lug 13 to causea practicallycontinuousoperation ofthe niachine With but the. slightest V'possible stoppage orhalt. Upon the commencement of the second rotation of shaft g,the'disk ybeing in its ro- I tated position With the pawl y engaging the notch ys,the cani D'Wipes against the pawl to release thedisk y and permit itsreturn to the position shown in Fig. 6 by the tension lof spring 30, andthe pin @/7 is engaged by thev loose arm y14 to restrain the disk fromatoo rapid rotation, the speed of the disk y being brought down to thatof the shaft g.
